MORRIS'SHRIER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

COAT-HANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 269,727, dated December 26, 1882,

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MORRIS SHRIER, a citizen of the United States,and a residentof the city, county, and State of New York,haveinventcd a new and useful Itnprovementin Coat-Hangers, of which the i'ollowingis a full, complete, and exact specification. 1

Reference being bad to the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of my hanger, showing its appearance when attached to an article. Fig. 2 is the blank out of which my fastener is formed. Fig. 3 is the flexible inelastic metallic tape; and Fig. 4 shows the under side of the fastener or clasp and the method of fastening the metallic tape to it.

The object of my invention is to furnish a perfect and durable hanger for all kinds of apparel by means of a soft and pliant metallic tape constructed as subsequently described.

in the drawings, A indicates the flexible inelastic metallic tape, which is made in the following manner: A piece of wire is wound tirmly and tightly around a mandrel by the aid of machinery, and when the proper length is obtained the wire as coiled is removed from themandrel, anti thecole is then completely and compactly filled with hemp, cord. tape,'or otherfibrous matter,which is laid lengthwise. When this is completed the coiled ire is pressed against the material in the core and flattened. This method of making the metallic tape furnishes a pliant, soft, and yielding substance, having a fiat surface, which is very convenient and necessary for coat-hangers.

B indicates the fasteners, which are made of any suitable metal, and are provided on each side 01 the base with two broad projections,b,

and at the front end withtwo prongs, (indicated by (1,) and also with another prong placed di- I jections l) are bent over and into the ends of the metallic tape A and securely clinched.

When the metallic tape A is thus securely fastened at each end to the fasteners B the latter are then turned over, and the prongs c and d are driven into the material to which it is desired to attach the hanger, and are then A clinched on the other side of the material. This secures the hanger.

I do not wish in this invention to claim specifically the metallic tape above described, as the'same is the subject of a separate application by me for a patent.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent. is-

1. A coat. or apparel hanger composed of the flexible inelastic metallic tape or cord A and the fasteners B, constructed as described, and for the purpose set forth.

2. The fastener B, provided with two front prongs,,d, the prong c, and the intermediate base, 70, having on either side of the base the two broad projections b, capable of being bent over, substantially as and for the purpose described.

MORRIS SHRIER.
